Fans love Ruslan Provodnikov, there is no question about that, and it is precisely the fact that Provodnikov gives it his all and leaves his heart in the ring that wins the public over even if/when he has lost a match.

This is the main reason many will watch on Saturday, June 14 when he goes in for his first title defense against Chris Algieri at the Madison Square Garden. Don't miss it! The fight will be televised live on HBO Boxing After Dark®, beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.
